Hera spacecraft trials autonomous navigation during Mars encounter
Paris, France (SPX) Mar 30, 2025 As ESA's Hera spacecraft passed close to Mars, it carried out a successful test of its autonomous navigation system, locking onto dozens of surface landmarks such as craters and other geological formations to track them over time. This experiment marked the first large-scale validation of a self-driving technique that Hera will later use when navigating around its asteroid targets. "There
